The Long Game at F8

FB's F8 developer conference runs from Tue, Apr 17 - Wed, Apr 18.



FB is known to play the long game with their product strategy: Wait till a billion+ users use a product and then turn on the monetization tap. They executed this strategy to perfection with their core Facebook app. Now the questions are:

1. Can they replicate this strategy with Messenger ? How are the BOTS efforts progressing ?

2. Are they going to start monetizing WhatsApp anytime soon ? If so, how ?

3. How are the Virtual Reality efforts with Oculus coming along ? Will there be a revolutionary new standalone VR 
    headset previewed ?

4. How is the Instagram business doing ? What are the new features coming there ?

F8 should provide hints, if not outright answers to the above. Definitely interesting but needle moving ? We'll know soon.

App Pitch:

In fact here's a handy little app to help you track product events like these and understand their impact on stocks.
